Where do I apply for a Grant?
Answers: It is hard to find grants to start a business. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for starting a for-profit business.
One possible exception is for companies developing or exporting agricultural goods, including food and forest product. Another exception could be the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) or Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs http://www.sba.gov/aboutsba/sbaprograms/... , which fund the research and development of technological innovation that meets specific government needs.
Your best bet actually will be from the states if they offer grant programs for women (or any other special interest groups -- minorities, women, disabled, veterans, etc). Or check with non profit organizations, particularly women organizations if they offer grants. Examples include
Iowa Women's Foundation http://www.iawf.org/
New Mexico Women's Foundation http://www.nmwf.org/guidelines.html
Even SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/mostrequesteditems/CO...
"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."
Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.
Here is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.

Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program
Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
There really is no such thing as free money.

What is average percentage COST OF GOODS contained by restaurant industry?
I am working on a project and need to know what is the average percent of the total revenue that go to cost of goods? THis is a coffee shop / Bakery business? PLEASE HELP! THANKSAnswers: You should use 30%-35% for this type of business. This assumes a pretty dignified volume (required for this business model to be successful). I've done some financing for a several fast food chains and a couple of franchised coffee/bakery shops and this be the standard number used in their business plans and projections (as provided by the franchisor).
Coffee shop/bakery should be around 25% I would articulate. Course you could vary greatly from that depending on what your product mix is and what prices your charging. If your upscale charging $3-4 for a 16-20 oz coffee its alot different than if your letting society drop a nickle in a tin cup for refill. Course to charge the big bucks you often enjoy other expenses such as the nice upscale finishout to your place, better waitstaff and higher rent.
